Kurt made everything so easy. I knew exactly what was happening through the whole process. Would definitely recommend!

He was honest told me what was gonna happen and what I was going to have As a consequence

I am compelled to rate/review Kurt for 2 reasons--1st - to show my gratitude. 2nd - To offer advice to anyone who's "on the fence" about hiring an attorney vs. go in alone. Kurt was able to accomplish in a matter of weeks what others could not accomplish in years. I am not an expert in "the system" however I think the difference between Kurt and the others is that he has access to, and relationships with those that make "the process" actually work in all of northern UT. If cost is holding you back, do the math factoring in what it will cost if you don't get the best-case outcome---monetarily and quality of life being measured. Also, Kurt's team is awesome. Sherri gets things done! I fully endorse and recommend Kurt and his team.

I highly recommend Kurt Helgesen as an attorney that understands the law and fights hard for his client. Our son found himself in an unfortunate situation where he made a stupid mistake and needed representation. As a parent you always want the best for your kids even when they screw up and hiring Kurt was the best thing we could have done. Kurt was very knowledgeable about my sons rights and knew the process well enough that he carefully navigated him to a very successful deal with the prosecutor. We could not have been more pleased with his service, communication and knowledge of the law. We would use him again if needed.

Kurt has been an exceptional attorney for me throughout several cases and is exceptionally prepared and ahead of each curve, especially with high conflict divorce. He was always available and explained each option and scenario and executed my wishes swiftly and accurately. He got results without wasting my time and is very sympathetic to difficult situations. I'm very grateful for Kurt and his dedicated, honest work on my cases. I highly recommend Kurt for any legal troubles or issues, he goes above and beyond.

I hired Kurt to help me with a custody dispute. He was well prepared and was always one step ahead of the other lawyer. He prepared me for the best or worst that could happen. Made my court dates so much easier! I was very impressed with my lawyer. Would recommend him to anyone.

Very non professional lawyer. We went to trial and he did not even know my case. I would not recommend him or his firm at all. I was constantly calling him to get an update on my case and he never had answers and charged me for the phone calls.

I could not have picked a better lawyer for my traffic case. While traveling through Utah, I got a speeding ticket and an expired registration ticket. Not only did I miss my court date, I lost my temper one day and sent a very insulting, offensive email to the court. Kurt worked his magic for a very reasonable fee and reduced my case to just the speeding ticket. I am still doing cartwheels for joy. Great lawyer, would recommend him to anyone.

Kurt exceeded his duty as my lawyer! He went above and beyond to defend me and help me understand my rights in my case. My case was difficult since it dealt with parties in another state, but he found journals that were similar to my situation that he presented in court. He really did his homework. I have worked with multiple lawyers and have never been as satisfied as I have been with Kurt. I know you can trust him to get the job done the way you feel is best for You.

I was arrested on a warrant and my mom retained Kurt Helgesen for me. After almost 2 weeks, I found out that he had done absolutely nothing on my case. He did not even know the difference between a cash and surety bond. The prosecutor on my case changed three times within a week and he had no explanation as to what happened. Maybe he is good for civil cases, but he seemed out of his depth when it came to a complex criminal case.

Kurt Helgesen has been incrediably helpful, knowledgable and empathetic to our situation. We were able to pursue and attain more than what we thought was possible due to his unyielding pursuit of our case. We highly recommend his expertise and personable approach. Kurt has a way of making you feel that you are his only client and his top priority.

I was recently charged with what I felt was a serious crime that could have long lasting consequences. I did not want the crime to go on my permanent record and affect future employment opportunities or graduate school application. Luckily I was able to obtain Kurt Helgesen as my attorney. This was my first experience in dealing with the law and the court system so I was very unsure about everything. In my initial meeting I was able to talk to Kurt about my case and what my possible options were. I immediately felt better as he explained my constitutional rights in defending myself. He told me exactly what would happen when I appeared in the courtroom before the judge so there were no surprises. This gave me comfort and confidence throughout the duration of my case. The day of my pretrial Kurt met me at the courtroom and my uneasiness that I had felt that day was calmed. All I had to do was sit and wait. Kurt was able to meet with the prosecutor and after reasoning and doing whatever lawyers do when they are hashing out deals was able to reach a very favorable outcome for me. I had originally been charged with a class B misdemeanor. It carried a maximum punishment of 6 months jail time and $1000 fine. It was knocked all the way down to a measly infraction and $100 fine! Initially the prosecutor was only willing to drop it to a class C misdemeanor but Kurt knew he could still get a better deal for me. I knew I received a good deal when the prosecutor presented the new proposed arrangement before the judge and the judge had to have the prosecutor repeat it. The judge was still struggling to see how this class B charge had been dropped to an infraction level charge and this is when Kurt stepped in again. Kurt was standing with me before the judge and asked to counsel with him, to explain why this agreement had been made. This was vital since the judge clearly explained to me that he could assign any punishment he wished, the prosecutors proposal was merely a suggestion that he, the judge, usually followed. After hearing Kurt out the judge basically went along with the proposal. I was cited for an infraction and $130 fine (the judge raised the fine $30). After paying the fine, I was home free! I don't have to worry about this stupid event in my life anymore. I would recommend Kurt Helgesen to anyone needing legal help for the first time. His ability be personable and relate to me for the unknown journey ahead was assuring. Then again I would recommend Kurt to anyone hiring a lawyer regardless of their law background because of the favorable outcome he was able to obtain for me. CASE CLOSED.
